Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Outrageous!_1 Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Outrageous!_1 Seeing both An Jing and Xiao Changyi looking as if they wouldn’t give an inch, clearly unwilling to fork over even a single child, Lin’s mother couldn’t hold back any longer, and burst into curses, “You cheap wench, clinging to someone else’s man and forgetting who you are, I should have never given birth to you! I should have strangled you the moment you were born! Can’t even bear children, what kind of woman are you! Even offering yourself to a man without shame! And now, you even dare to defy your own parents who raised you, after you die you’ll definitely descend to the eighteenth level of hell!”

As soon as Lin’s mother started her tirade, Xiao Changyi’s face turned cold, and he thought about taking action, but he was held back by An Jing, who forbade him from making a move.

Cursed by someone else, An Jing didn’t get angry at all; on the contrary, her smile only grew brighter.

If a dog bites her, should she bite the dog back?

While Lin’s mother was scolding to her heart’s content, the Clan Leader of the Xiao clan from Jiuping Village, Xiao Zheng, arrived with a menacing presence, accompanied by others. Before they even got close to Xiao Changyi’s yard, they heard Lin’s mother’s scolding, and Xiao Zheng’s face couldn’t have looked uglier.

As he entered the courtyard, Xiao Zheng exploded, “This is outrageous, does the Xiao clan look like it’s easy to bully, having so many people come here to pick on our younger generation!”

The people following behind Xiao Zheng also started to shout out:
“Is the Xiao clan invisible to them, that they dare to make such a big scene, blatantly bullying people!”

“Coming directly to our home to bully us, that’s truly going too far!”

“Uncle Zheng, we absolutely cannot tolerate this! Otherwise, others might really take the Xiao clan for easy targets and all come to bully us!”

“Right! We cannot tolerate it!”

Even though Xiao Changyi’s mother had abandoned him and refused to raise him, Xiao Changyi was still listed in the Xiao Clan’s family register, making him a member of the Xiao family.

If today it was only Lin Daqiang’s family looking for Xiao Changyi, that would be a private grievance, and Xiao Zheng and the others wouldn’t necessarily have dropped their farm work to rush over in a fury, but today it wasn’t just Lin Daqiang’s family; there was also Lin Ming, the Clan Leader of the Lin family, and other members of the Lin clan, which was tantamount to mobilizing the entire Lin family.

How could the Xiao clan simply sit by and ignore this!

If the Xiao clan turned a blind eye today, wouldn’t that be telling others that the Lin family could bully the Xiao clan’s people at will? Who would then respect the Xiao clan in the future?

Therefore, when Xiao Zheng and the others working in the fields heard that Lin Ming was brazenly coming for Xiao Changyi with a group, they hurried over.

Even if they didn’t particularly like Xiao Changyi and had hardly had any interactions with him.

A family united can really be terrifying. Seeing the righteous indignation of the Xiao clan’s people, Lin’s mother immediately stopped cursing and hurriedly hid behind Lin Daqiang, panicked.

Lin Ming’s face darkened.

Seeing Xiao Zheng, An Jing asked Xiao Changyi in a low voice, “Did you summon him?”

Xiao Changyi shook his head.

An Jing chuckled lightly, “Then he must have heard the rumors and rushed over.” She knew it would escalate to a family-level issue when she saw Lin Ming bringing so many people from the Lin clan to find her.

“Xiao Zheng, you’re mistaken, we are not bullying anyone from the Xiao clan, we’re just—”
Before Lin Ming could finish, he was interrupted by Xiao Zheng, “Xiao Changyi’s surname is Xiao, the Eldest Grandson of the Fifth House, clearly listed on our Xiao Clan’s family register. You’re now standing in his yard, leading so many people from your Lin family here. You say you’re not bullying a member of the Xiao Clan, do you think we’re all blind!”
